Steve Smith 89% sure he's done; who do we sign to fill those shoes

Maybe a Flacco pay cut and or Dennis pay cut idk all the details about there contracts but two guys I could think of that would be willing to take for the benefit of the team 

I'm know a bit about the cap, but I'm no capoligist. From what I've seen, all of our efforts to reduce Joe's cap hit has really meant that we've committed ourselves to him farther out into the future. We're already in a position where there is no way to cut ties with him before the end of the 2019 season. I don't know if we want to put ourselves in a position to be beholden to him for yet longer

Probably, but I'm trying to remain optimistic. Gotta help Flacco out

Blows my mind that some people would want Jeffrey, considering the issues we have had with BP

He's elite when healthy. Let's not act like Anquan wasn't injury prone when we traded for him

He wasn't.  He was traded because Arizona didn't want to pay him.

You missed my point. He said Alshon is injury prone, yet Q was injury prone during his Arizona days and we still decided to trade for him.

I mean if we can get 2013 Pierre Garçon, I'm all for it

Boldin wasn't costing 10+ million a year.

Haven't watched much of him recently. Does he have anymore speed at his age? I just don't want him to be Aiken 2.0 here in Baltimore.

I agree, but we don't know for sure if he will even get that much because of his issues.

I'd call him a poor mans Steve smith.. still moves well and consistently gets YAC.

If Sanu can get 8mill a year...and the cap is going up 7+mill....Jeffrey will easily get that imo.  Im just against paying big money to WRs

Oh hell yea.. he's always had strong hands. He has 75 catches 100 targets and 1 drop.. 

 

just to add. Past 3 seasons he has roughly 330 targets 220catches and just TWO drops.. in 3 yrs lol

You wouldn't give Alshon 8mill a year?

I'm hoping Desean Jacksons big season will keep him a Redskin and they let Garcon walk! But, that'd be unwise IMO

Not what I said at all...but actually I would not want to pay 8mill.  I said, if Sanu got 8mill, Jeffery will surely get more

Have to sign a veteran possession receiver. Neither Wallace or BP are trustworthy enough, have the route running ability or have the hands to be that type.

Who says that a possession receiver "has to be" a veteran?  

To be honest, I'm getting sick and tired of the FO running these old cats that's on the backend of their careers in and out of here live a revolving door.  

We lack playmakers!  We need some young lions on this roster....teach'em, train'em and then TRUST'EM!

By veteran I think he mostly means "reliable"

[usmccharles]

Garcon is who I really would be happy getting.  Of course there is guys like Brian Quick who has big upside, but hasn't really done anything to date.

Garçon is starting to warm up to me more then Alshon because of the price we can improve other areas without paying too much I think Garçon is the move

That's been my outlook.  Perfect example would be KO walking last year, if we retained him we wouldn't have been able to sign Weddle or Wallace, which were both upgrades at the position still.

I'd say Garçon and CB should be our big splashes personally I know some would say a pass rusher but I think we got youth for when doom is gone and or the draft 

[Deflated Football]

How much would Garçon cost, because I still want to throw money at Trumaine or Stephon.

Garcon still has to be cut by Washington which isn't a for sure thing, but with how good Crowder looks he could make sense.  Id like to see us sign a CB but starter worth one most likely wont be available at a price we will be looking to pay.
